Hands Like Arrows Feet like wheel

Hi all,

Is it possible for the body to shoot out hands like arrows? I have been followed the other threads of this nice board and am quite intrigued by this aspect. Appreciate any comments on this.

A bow is in a state of "resting" tension. There is a load or tension in both the bow itself and in the bowstring. Prior to launching the arrow, the tension is increased in both the bow and string as the arrow is drawn back. When the arrow is released, all of the tension goes into launching the arrow forward. Once the arrow is gone, the bow returns to its previous state of "resting" tension. Is this a good analogy for throwing a WCK punch? That's up to you. Some think in terms of there being complete relaxation and no tension at all. In that case, then this is a poor analogy. Then maybe a whip would then be a better analogy? At rest, the whip is under no tension at all, and after delivering its blow it goes back to a state of no tension.

Hi Keith,

I think there is a difference of storing energy (or potential energy) and tension energy. Perhaps this is a better term. Good to see you surfacing! =)

SUN-TZU: THE PRINCIPLES OF WARFARE
"THE ART OF WAR"

Chapter Seven: Armed Struggle

Sun-tzu said:


4. Thus, to take a long and circuitous route,
after enticing the enemy out of the way, and though starting
after him, to contrive to reach the goal before him,
shows knowledge of the artifice of DEVIATION.

5. Maneuvering with an army is advantageous;
with an undisciplined multitude, most dangerous.

6. If you set a fully equipped army in march in order
to snatch an advantage, the chances are that you will be
too late. On the other hand, to detach a flying column
for the purpose involves the sacrifice of its baggage
and stores.

7. Thus, if you order your men to roll up their
buff-coats, and make forced marches without halting day
or night, covering double the usual distance at a stretch,
doing a hundred LI in order to wrest an advantage,
the leaders of all your three divisions will fall into
the hands of the enemy.

8. The stronger men will be in front, the jaded
ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth
of your army will reach its destination.

9. If you march fifty LI in order to outmaneuver
the enemy, you will lose the leader of your first division,
and only half your force will reach the goal.

10. If you march thirty LI with the same object,
two-thirds of your army will arrive.

11. We may take it then that an army without its
baggage-train is lost; without provisions it is lost;
without bases of supply it is lost.

12. We cannot enter into alliances until we are
acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.

13. We are not fit to lead an army on the march
unless we are familiar with the face of the country--its
mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices,
its marshes and swamps.

14. We shall be unable to turn natural advantage
to account unless we make use of local guides.

if you make the enemy's route circuitous and bait him with advantages, though you start out behind him, you will arrive before him.

This is to know the calculations of the circuitous and of the direct. ?


To impliment the Sun Tzu above, Shock power is required and a must. WCK principle is express very clear here.

I look at it more like fast terminating hands and mobile feet in combat, and the Sun Tzu's writing speaks to me more of using diversion tactics to gain advantage. So why shock power?

P.S. Use silence to subdue action... Is this a mind quietness and thus able to clearly see what's happening and to respond correctly? Or just waiting for the right timing to destroy his coming action on your counter?

The beauty of all of these are that it is like a big piece of puzzle. until one see both the big picture and details one doesnt really see what it is.

Thus, that is the fun. the fun of cracking the code. the fun of be able to know what the ancient think and see. for those who are deep into it.

As a child I have ever been thrilled by his fight with the Monkey King. I wonder if you could tell us more about the symbolic meaning of the spear and firing wheels. Thanks, Evert. ! =)
